Michael,
Another rod to add to your list. Divine bait caster, 6', 2/2, ser. # R1389. Yet another rod that requires a complete "redo".

Heres another H6667. Its a 8 1/2' with tip tube and original bag and I believe it a standard trout model. Is there somewhere to go and see what the rod looked like original condition? Would like to know wrap colors and spaceing. Also have a Invisible Rod R795 9'.

Michael,
All metal reel seat stamped "The Divine Rod 150". Standard Trout, I believe, as the red silk is wrapped up over the grip. Restored. It's a ten foot rod. I found it with two matching tips, but one had a slightly different wrap pattern than the others sections. Since the ferrules, taper and hardware match on both tips, I'm guessing it's probably a 3/2.
